splineforest_split: Custom rpart split function for spline random forests

In splinetree: Longitudinal Regression Trees and Forests

Description

Wrapper for split function required for the random forest functionality. This function is called once per covariate at each potential split. Implements the random selection of variables; each variable is randomly selected to be included or excluded.

Usage

splineforest_split(y, wt, x, parms = NULL, continuous)

Arguments

y	the responses at this node
wt	the weight of the responses
x	the X data for this covariate
parms	the basis matrix for the spline and the proportion of variables randomly sampled (diceProb)
continuous	value is handled internally by rpart - tells us if this covariate is continuous or categorical (factor).
